Key Flexfield Architecture

Key flexfields allow organizations to model objects according to their requirements by defining key structures in different modules. A flexfield structure is composed of one or more segments, each attached to a defined value set. System administrators can define flexfield segments by specifying required attributes like the associated value set and any validation rules. Once all segments are defined, the flexfield structure can be compiled.

Key Flexfield Architecture

Key Flexfield is a very important concept in Oracle. It allows you to define Key Structures in each Module. This gives you

the flexibility to model your objects according to your requirements. Some examples of flexfields are as follow:

Accounting Flexfield in General Ledger.

Job, Position and Grade Key Flexfield in Human Resources.

Key Flexfield Architecture

A flexfield is a structure that you define for a Flexfield Title. The Flexfield Structures are registered within an application.

A structure will compose of one or more segments. Each segment will be attached to a value set which you would have

defined. If required you will qualify the segment in question.


Define Key Flexfield Structure

System Administrator –> Flexfield –> Segments

Note: KFFs are accessible from other Modules as well.

Key Flexfield Segments

Query for the Key Flexfield in question. As an example I have queried the ‘Training Resources’ KFF.
Training Resources KFF

Add your structure, then click on ‘Segments’ to define the segments.


Segments Summary

Click on ‘Value Set’. Define your value set. The Value Set determines what values will be available for the segment in

question. Specify the ‘Value Validation’.  Save the value set, close the form and attach it to the segment as shown above.

We have various ways of validating the values.

In this case, the validation is based on a table. Click on ‘Edit Information’ to define it.

When you are done, click on ‘Open’ on the ‘Segment Summary’ Form. Specify whether it is required. By default all

segments are marked as required.

Flexfield Qualifiers

Click on ‘Flexfield Qualifiers’ to qualify the segment. This is not valid for all Key Flexfields. Accounting Flexfield has Flexfield

Qualifiers and is illustrated below.

Once you are done with all the segments close the ‘Segments Summary’ Form to return to the ‘Key Flexfield Segments’

window.
